لافندر ونعناع

The licorice root is the sleeper hit here — it somehow makes the whole cup taste rounder and calmer, not just minty-sharp. I've been steeping it after dinner and the lavender really does carry through to a spa-like finish that lingers just enough.

I was skeptical about the sage at first since it can be overpowering, but the peppermint keeps it bright and the lavender makes it seriously calming. Brewed a cup after a stressful day and the whole room smelled like a spa, which was exactly what I needed.

The licorice root really rounds out the peppermint and lavender—it’s like a spa day in a cup. I brewed a pot after a long shift and the calming effect hit almost instantly, the aroma filling the whole kitchen.
